Facilitations for entrepreneurs

Status: Implemented

Lower Social Insurance Contributions for small-sized enterprises – by PLN 500 on average

From February 1, 2020, onwards, approx. 320,000 smallest-sized enterprises will be eligible for the so-called "Small ZUS Plus". Company owners will have an option to pay lower Social Insurance Contributions calculated proportionally based on their income. The new solution can be availed of by entrepreneurs whose annual revenues do not exceed PLN 120,000. "Small ZUS Plus" will be a voluntary solution.
Status: In force.

Estonian CIT

The so-called "Estonian CIT" will be introduced for micro and small-sized enterprises. It means that such enterprises will have to pay CIT upon the income withdrawal by the company. The solution will be beneficial for entrepreneurs experiencing problems with accounting liquidity and payment backlog.
Status: In force.

Lower CIT for turnover up to EUR 2 million

Taxpayers in the lowered CIT rate scheme will have a higher limit for revenues generated in a fiscal year. Currently, the limit is EUR 1.2 million. Taxpayers with the status of small taxpayers and taxpayers commencing their business eligible for the 9% CIT rate will benefit from the solution.
Status: In force.

Support for seniors

Status: Implemented

13th pension

In April 2020, pensioners will receive an additional payment of PLN 1,200 gross. The amount will be paid automatically without any formality. The payments will be made annually regardless of the amount of the pension received. About 9.8 million pensioners will receive the additional benefits. The expenditure on the 13th pension will amount to approx. PLN 11.7 billion in 2020.

Status: In force.

14th pension

In 2021, the 14th pension will be paid. Only persons whose income does not exceed 120% of the average pension will be entitled to the benefits. It will be calculated under the zloty to zloty principle. In other words, if income exceeds the pension 1.2 times, the amount of the 14th pension will decrease proportionally to the increase in the amount of the pension. Therefore, the maximum amount of the 14th pension is planned to be equal to the lowest pension.
